Are there too many MLM Companies and not enough Distributors?

MLM has produced a full time income for many enterprising entrepreneurs. There are millions of distributors using this method to build an income. The marketplace has profoundly changed since companies like Amway or Shaklee first started operating.

The MLM marketplace began to change in the 1980's. With the advent of the personal computer, more and more MLM companies started up. Today with the wide use of the Internet, there are companies starting up on a daily basis. This has damged the MLMer's attempt to earn a residual income.

Having more MLM Companies available may seem at first to increase the ability of the average distributor to earn a residual income. The opposite has happened. Since the MLMer must compete for the same number of MLM distributors available in the marketplace, the competition is fierce to recruit, notwithsatnding the confusing number of options available to the average MLMer.

There are so many MLM companies available now and on the drawing boards to launch that it is a surprise that any of them can survive. To be able to compete in this new environment, the new MLMer must undertake different marketing and sales tactics to flourish. Most will be unable to compete.

It is quite obvious that the MLMer must now consider expanding the available distributor base by bringing in new distributors from outside the MLM mainstream. This will require an increase in the amount of training or available information on the MLM Industry being made to the prospect. It is also time consuming but can be beneficial to both parties, since "relationship building" will again take center stage.

MLM used to be all about "relationship building". It was the cornerstone of the Industry in the beginning and we may have to return to our "roots" somewhat in order to succeeed. Today most people hide behind a lead capture page and a autoresponder, never speaking to their prospects. If you understand the importance of building relationships, you understand MLM.

Survival of the new MLM distributor will depend upon the system used to recruit for him or her. If the newbie has access to leads, autoresponders etc and can profit from them by adding additional income streams, they can more easily overcome those difficult first couple of months in business. Any tactic that can help your new distributor prosper, will increase your chance of success.

There is no other business like the MLM business. We are all attracted by the ability of the business to provide a residual income. If you don't feel like working, you still make money. Apply the core principles of the Industry such as building relationships and teaching duplication, and you will be among the success stories rather than the failures.
